Day 1566: Time in the yard

Still too tired to do much writing.  For the first time in weeks, we stayed away from school and set breakdown.  The kids really needed a day off to rest, plus the lighting crew needed time to pack up all the rented lights.  Instead, we focused on our own home and yard.  It was wonderful to putter around my gardens, cleaning away winter debris on this glorious day.   Steve picked up sticks from the front yard and then mowed for the first time this spring.  It doesn't take much to transform our home into a showplace.

I love this view of the house surrounded by jolts of brilliant color.
